AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON CREEP BEHAVIOR OF SHALE ROCKS: WITH EMPHASIS ON THE INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE AND ANISOTROPY
(2017-05-12)
The deformation of materials under constant load over time is called creep. The conductivity of fracture produced by hydraulic fracturing decreased over time as a result of this time dependent phenomenon that requires to ...
The Theatre of Bernard-Marie Koltès: Evolution and Revolution in Postmodern French Drama
(2017-05)
The Theatre of Bernard-Marie Koltès: Evolution and Revolution in Postmodern French Drama establishes an understanding of French playwright Bernard-Marie Koltès (1948-1989) as the most important figure in postmodern French ...
The Enigmatic Quaternary Shell Bed Deposits of Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania: Linking Anthropogenic Land-Use with Nearshore Sedimentation
(2017-05)
Extensive deposits of carbonate shell-rich sediments in the nearshore environment (< 30 m water depth) of Lake Tanganyika, Africa, form a unique and important habitat for a diversity of endemic crabs, fish, sponges, and ...
GAIT ANALYSIS OF PEOPLE WITH TRANSTIBIAL AMPUTATION
(2017-05-12)
Causes of transtibial (below knee) amputation vary from traumatic events such as accidents to vascular and circulatory disorders. Following amputation, the individual is fitted with a prosthetic device in order to regain ...
LOW-COST, SOFTWARE DEFINED FMCW RADAR FOR OBSERVATIONS OF DRONES
(2017-05-12)
This thesis focuses on implementing a small, low-cost, Frequency-Modulated-Continuous-Wave (FMCW) radar sensor using Software-Defined Radio (SDR) platforms. Extensive investigation and comparisons of existing SDRs are ...
The Effect Of Ligand Denticity In Stabilizing Actinide-Element Multiple Bond Functionalities
(2017-12)
Different synthetic approaches to the development of complexes with X-An=E and E=An=E functionalities (where An = U, Th) for use in studying the inverse trans influence (ITI) and the role f-orbitals play in early actinide ...
Parallel Processing of Top-K Trajectory Similarity Queries on Big Data Using GPUs
(2017-05-12)
Through the use of location-sensing devices, it has been possible to collect very large datasets of trajectories. These datasets make it possible to issue spatio-temporal queries with which users can gather information ...
Empathy Undergraduate
(2017-04)
It was a crisp morning in New Delhi. Early March is easily considered winter in India, but
it was a nice 75 degrees that day, which, at the time, I considered to be somewhat warm. Little did I know that 118 degrees was ...
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF ROTATIONAL SPEED AND WEIGHT ON BIT ON DRILLSTRING VIBRATIONS, TORQUE AND RATE OF PENETRATION
(2017-05-12)
Experimental investigation was carried out on an automated drilling rig fabricated for the Drillbotics competition. The effects of rotational speed and weight on bit were observed on drillstring vibrations, torque and rate ...
Unilateral fatiguing exercise and its effect on ipsilateral and contralateral resting mechanomyographic mean frequency between aerobic populations
(2017-02-27)
The purpose of this investigation was to establish a better understanding of contralateral training and its effects between homologous muscles following unilateral fatiguing aerobic exercise during variable resting postural ...
